Size guide:

• 650g Mini: designed for controlled hand-feeding as a treat, reward or distraction

• 5kg tub: suitable for regular balancer use by an individual horse and designed to fit the Horslyx 5kg Balancer Holder

Recommended daily intake for the 5kg balancer:

• Pony weighing approximately 300kg: 200g per day

• Horse weighing approximately 500kg: 250g per day

• Large horse weighing approximately 700kg: 300g per day

Introduce gradually. During the first week, allow access for approximately 10 minutes each day. Access may then be increased gradually while monitoring consumption. Once the horse is accustomed to Horslyx and intake is stable, the 5kg tub may be made freely available where appropriate.

The 650g Mini should be fed under supervision and should not be left with the horse for unrestricted consumption. Because it is normally offered in smaller amounts, it should not be relied upon to provide the complete daily balancer intake.

Always provide unrestricted access to fresh water and adequate forage. Do not feed alongside another complete vitamin and mineral balancer unless advised by an equine nutritionist or veterinarian.

Feequently asked questions:

What is Horslyx Respiratory Balancer?

It is a vitamin and mineral lick containing menthol, eucalyptus oil and aniseed oil, together with antioxidant nutrients that support normal respiratory, immune and general health.

Does Horslyx Respiratory treat coughing?

No. It is a nutritional balancer, not a veterinary medicine. Coughing can have several causes and should be investigated by a veterinarian, particularly if it persists or is accompanied by nasal discharge, breathing difficulty or reduced performance.

What aromatic ingredients does it contain?

The formulation contains pure menthol granules, pure eucalyptus oil and pure aniseed oil.

What is the difference between the 650g and 5kg sizes?

The 650g Mini is intended for controlled hand-feeding as a treat, reward or distraction. The 5kg tub is designed for regular balancer use when the horse consumes the recommended daily amount.

Can the 650g Mini provide the complete daily balancer intake?

The Mini is generally offered in small, controlled amounts and should not be relied upon to provide the horse’s complete daily balancer intake.

How much should my horse consume each day?

The manufacturer recommends approximately 200g daily for a 300kg pony, 250g for a 500kg horse and 300g for a 700kg horse when the 5kg tub is being used as a nutritional balancer.

How long will a 5kg tub last?

At the recommended intake, it lasts approximately 25 days for a 300kg pony, 20 days for a 500kg horse or 17 days for a 700kg horse.

How should Horslyx be introduced?

Allow approximately 10 minutes of access each day during the first week. Increase access gradually while monitoring consumption. The 650g Mini should always be fed under supervision.

Can I feed it with another vitamin and mineral balancer?

Avoid feeding two complete balancers together unless advised by a veterinarian or qualified equine nutritionist, as this could result in unnecessary nutrient oversupply.

How much sugar does Horslyx Respiratory contain?

The typical analysis lists sugar, expressed as sucrose, at 33%. Horses requiring carefully controlled sugar intake should have their complete diet assessed before using this product.

Is it suitable for horses prone to laminitis or metabolic problems?

Suitability depends on the individual horse, its complete diet and the amount consumed. Consult a veterinarian or qualified equine nutritionist before feeding it to a horse with laminitis, insulin dysregulation or another metabolic condition.

Can it replace hard feed?

When the recommended intake is achieved, it may reduce the need for a separate fortified feed or balancer. The horse must still receive adequate forage and sufficient energy and protein for its workload, body condition and individual needs.
